Titus Verginius Tricostus Caeliomontanus was the Roman consul in 496 BC, along with Aulus Postumius Albus Regillensis. Livy reported that it was the year of the Battle of Lake Regillus; Aulus Postumius Albus had abdicated his consulship and was named dictator. Dionysius of Halicarnassus reported that Titus Virginius had commanded a corps under the orders of the dictator at the Battle of Lake Regillus.Titus, or possibly his brother Aulus, is listed by Festus, who in conjecture with the writings of Valerius Maximus, makes it possible that Verginius was one of the military tribunes in 486 BC who was burned at the Circus Maximus by Publius Mucius Scaevola for conspiring with the consul Spurius Cassius Viscellinus.
